I am pleased to report for certain that the Charlotte Straker Home in Corbridge will defintely retain its palliative care facility. The full story is reported in todays Journal:

As the local medical director has put it: "this is good news for the local residents, as it is extremely important that end of life care is proivided in the community."
There is also a plan that this formula could be replicated across Northumberland as Charlotte Straker is a shining example of Nursing care.
